(IBM-XQ-003) At present, our documents are inconsistent in their use of the term "in-scope namespaces". In the XPath and XQuery documents, "in-scope namespaces" is part of the Static Context and is a property of an expression. On the other hand, in the Data Model and Functions and Operators documents, "in-scope namespaces" is a property of an element and has another meaning entirely. The term "in-scope namespaces" appears13 times in the Data Model document and 10 times in F&O document. I think we should fix this inconsistency by changing the term "in-scope namespaces" in the Static Context to "declared namespaces" and using this term throughout the XQuery and XPath documents. The term "declared namespaces" suggests where the information comes from: either a namespace declaration in the Prolog, or a namespace declaration attribute. In this solution, no changes are needed to the Data Model and F&O documents. --Don Chamberlin
